In short, after the agents' death, the conduct of the colonists was such, that they were neither respected, loved, nor feared by the natives, and no just ground of hope was left, that a peaceful establish- ment could be made either in the Sherbro, or Bagroo country. Captain Wadsworth advised Coker to return to the Sherbro, and sent to his assistance on board the schooner two midship- men, and a boat's crew often men. All attempts at negotia- tion with the natives proving unsuccessful, and there... being no authorized agent to take charge of the colonists, they went back in the schooner to Sierra Leone, and soliched the pro- tection of the governor, till further instructions should be received from America. The governor acceeded to their proposal, and granted them the asylum they desired. At the beginning of the year 1821, the brig Nautilus sailed from Norfolk, having on board two government agents, Mr Winn and Mr Bacon, who were to be stationed on the coast of Africa. In the same vessel went out Mr Andrus and Mr Wiltberger, agents for the Colonization Society, and with them twenty eight new colonists.
